Excess CO2 causes the pH of blood and other bodily fluids to decrease, making them too acidic. Normally, the body is able to balance the ions that control acidity. This balance is measured on a pH scale from 0 to 14. Acidosis occurs when the pH of the blood falls below 7.35 (normal blood pH is between 7.35 and 7.45).Rinku Chaudhary NSG officer AMU ALIGARH https://www.facebook.com/rinkutch/ Respiratory acidosis is typically caused by an underlying disease or condition.

Respiratory acidosis, also called respiratory failure or ventilatory failure, causes the pH of blood and other bodily fluids to decrease, making them too acidic. Respiratory acidosis occurs when the lungs cant remove enough carbon dioxide (CO2). Excess CO2 makes the blood more acidic. This is because the body must balance the ions that control pH. Normally, the lungs take in oxygen and exhale CO2. Oxygen passes from the lungs into the blood. CO2 passes from the blood into the lungs. However, sometimes the lungs cannot remove enough CO2. This may cause respiratory acidosis. There are two forms of respiratory acidosis: acute and chronic. Acute respiratory acidosis occurs quickly. It is a medical emergency. Left untreated, symptoms will get progressively worse. It can become life-threatening. Chronic respiratory acidosis develops over time. It does not cause symptoms. Instead, the body adapts to the increased acidity. For example, the kidneys produce more bicarbonate to help maintain balance. Chronic respiratory acidosis may not cause symptoms. However, it is important to see a doctor, as the underlying cause could be serious. Signs and Symptoms of Respiratory Acidosis Initial signs

What are the potassium level abnormalities associated with DKA (during diagnosis and treatment.)

ahassan

During DKA, the total body K is low bcz of osmotic diuresis, BUT the serum k conc. is raised bcz of the lack of insulin action, which allows k to shift out of the cells. So hyperkalemia.During treatment, k is shifted into the cells, which may lead to profound hypokalemia n death if not treated, so during therapy you have to adjust KCL conc. depending on blood K levels.

tomymajor

In DKA--> K level may be high or normal so we dont add k from the start of tttBut : In HHNKC---> K level is low from the start so we give k from start of ttt

e.g. correct hypoxia or shock if they are causing hyperventilation. This can be corrected by administering CO2, increasing the dead space or lowering the minute ventilation. These measures will rarely be thought to be necessary. Stop alimentary loss of base; correct hypoxia; reduce renal acid load by diet; drain abscess in diabetic ketosis and give insulin (see 7.3.2.2.3, ketoacidosis ) ; treat shock with intra-venous fluids and stop haemorrhage etc (see 7.3.2.2.2.2, shock ) . If the acidosis is (a) not affecting the cardiac action and (b) renal function is adequate, the acidosis may be corrected by giving sufficient NaCl (Na+ + Cl-) solution for the kidney to (i) correct the acidosis by excreting HCl (H+ + Cl-) or NH4Cl (NH4+ + Cl-) and (ii) repair any deficit in E.C.F. volume. This approach applies in alimentary causes of metabolic acidosis where the kidneys are usually able to correct the defects if enough saline is given (Hesse et al, 1966). Correction may be more rapid if Hartmann's solution rather than 0.9% NaCl solution is given to correct the pH disturbance as there is less for kidney to do. The lactate ion has to be converted to HCO3- and some H+ + Cl- will have to be exc

I adopted a low-carb diet a while ago, and ever since I went into ketosis I have had the worst insomnia of my life. I usually struggle with severe insomnia, but this is radical - drinking large amounts of alcohol (only thing that seems to help) buys me ~3hrs, otherwise I just DON'T SLEEP. I'm having extreme anxiety and panic attacks because my brain just never gets a break. Someone gave me a Xanax the other day, and I got two restless, fitful hours of nap time. My question is, how long do I put up with this before I can determine if I will acclimate or if this will be a permanent effect of this diet and I need to abandon it? I know it's pretty early on and my body can probably adjust, but this is severely effecting every area of my life and taking a significant toll on my mental health. Anyone else experience this? Please advise!

Not insomnia so much, but I can see how if you have anxiety problems and are stimulant-sensitive (as I am), the energy ketones give may seem a bit extreme and give you almost too much energy. I definitely have a hard time falling asleep at night on keto vs. not. I figure after doing it for long enough you'll get used to it.

I'm not a licensed doctor, so take my advice with a grain of salt:Have you struggled with stress/anxiety/depression before keto? I mean, are you under a lot of stress in general? You kind of sound like me a few months ago.It sounds like you're having trouble getting enough serotonin. When this happends, you're prone to panic attacks, negative thinking, lacking in restful sleep, and your train of thoughts seems to go a million times a minute. If your brain chemistry isn't right, like in my case, keto can exasperate your problems. I'm not saying keto is the ultimate cause of your problems, just that it can in some cases it doesn't help much. Eating meals large in protein as you do in keto increases the amount of amino acids in the blood, making it less likely for the precursor to serotonin, tryptophan, to cross the blood brain barrier. Consider dropping keto altogether until you get your mental health in check. You might have to make some radical changes to get your life straight again. I did. I was suffering from extremely crippling depression/anxiety and other symptoms like yours and had to take few months off of school to recuperate. I am 100% better now after seeing a naturopath and am doing keto now without too many hiccups.Here is what seeing the naturopath did for me:I got my neurotransmitter levels tested (serotonin, dopamine, gaba stuff) and all came out to be way lower than normal. There are supplements you can take to remedy this. I was put on some propriety supplements by a company called sanesco: Prolent (for serotonin, whose active ingredient is just 5-HTP), and Lentra (for gaba/dopamine, which has theraputic dosage of magnesium, taurine, and L-theanine).Also, my vitamin D levels, which are important in the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin, were low. I had to supplement with that as well. Getting enough sunlight also helps with this.

Acid-base Tutorial - Respiratory Correction

by "Grog" (Alan W. Grogono), Professor Emeritus, Tulane University Department of Anesthesiology Acid-Base Therapy: Respiratory Correction The objective is to restore the PCO2 to its customary position for that patient which, for someone with chronic lung disease, will be higher than PCO2 = 40 mmHg (5.7 kPa). Emergency therapy: The body's metabolism produces respiratory (carbonic) acid and, in cardiorespiratory failure also produces metabolic (lactic) acid. In emergencies, therefore, it is usual to find that correction is required for metabolic or respiratory acidosis. For this reason, and in the interest of simplification, the following paragraphs primarily discuss acidosis and its correction: Respiratory acidosis. A physician decides to ventilate a patient to reduce the PCO2 level based on exhaustion, prognosis, prospect of improvement from concurrent therapy and, only in part, on the PCO2 level. Once the clinical decision is made, the PCO2 helps calculate the appropriate correction. The PCO2 reflects the balance between the production of carbon dioxide and its elimination. Unless the metabolic rate changes, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is roughly constant and determines

Metformin side effects

I have been on Metformin for 2 years now. I have finally found away to take it with out gagging and take ontime everyday. I grind it to a powder and add it to my yogurt and yoila. Since I have been taking it as prescribed I have experiencing the worse case of lose bowels. Please tell me if you have experience this Metformin side effect and what should I do?

Pat-O

That is one of the side effects of metformin.. I would talk to your dr.. I was on it for a year, then got same symptoms - long story short, dr took me off it. Some people can "work" through symptoms other can't . For me it was hurting me as much as it was helping. Now I'm on insulin, which is ok. Got my a1c down etc

debimzadi

I have the same issue but not all the time. Has anyone noticed if what you eat makes the loose bowel issue better or worse? Sometimes it seems not to bother me at all. Then last night I was up and down in the bathroom multiple times.

Acid-Base Physiology The arterial pCO2 is normally maintained at a level of about 40 mmHg by a balance between production of CO2 by the body and its removal by alveolar ventilation. If the inspired gas contains no CO2 then this relationship can be expressed by: paCO2 is proportional to VCO2 / VA where: VCO2 is CO2 production by the body VA is Alveolar ventilation An increase in arterial pCO2 can occur by one of three possible mechanisms: Presence ...
